Ms. Noem, who served four terms as South Dakota’s only representative before becoming governor, is known as a champion of conservative issues and was a fierce critic of the Biden administration’s immigration policies. She will be tasked with fulfilling President Trump’s promises to crack down on immigration, including by reinstating the “Remain in Mexico” policy that forces asylum seekers to stay in Mexico for the duration of their U.S. cases.
